FEAR OF BEING CUT NOT THE PACKER WAY............

It's fun to read someones opi ion on the team that doesn't give a shit what the team thinks of him, isn't on their payroll, and doesn't care is the team "shuns" him

I've also used the Einstein quote a bunch of times talking about this team

That makes them very much like most coaches I have known and observed.

If they were unsuccessful (overall, as Bob McClickbait suggests) it might make some sense.

This post makes you look kinda foolish and you're not as foolish as McClickbait's column.

When it comes right down to it, I guess that is what makes the feel of McGinn's recent articles so absurd to me. He continually now compares the Packers to Seattle and NE. In the past he included SF in those comparisons, at times also the flavors of the month like Philly and Atlanta. It's always the same approach, the Packers do "it" wrong (whatever "it" is for the specific article), and here are the teams that do it right. But the simple fact is TT and MM have been just as effective as anyone else over that same time frame, and only a couple others have had the prolonged success that GB has.

If McGinn approached these topics in a more analytical way, instead of blatantly condemning whatever the Packer approach is, I would take him more seriously. From the tone of his articles, you would thing the Packers are perennial losers who never make the playoffs and haven't sniffed a SB trip in decades.

As I wrote above, you could make the argument that it became clear early last year for Boykin and later for Bostick that things were not clicking for them in GB. Cutting each and bring in a better(?) or at least hungrier and more attentive player would have hurt nothing and might have improved the NFCCG outcome. On the flip side, having the same fast trigger with Crosby could have been a mistake.

You must love my posts. I don't give a shit what the team thinks of me, I'm not on their payroll, and I don't care that they shun me.

I do care what Drew Barrymore thinks, though.

Bob is constantly changing the target. In the past couple years he's implied the Packers should act more like the Bears, Vikings, Seattle, SF, and NE. Outside of NE, none of those teams have been successful as the Packers over the long term.

This is just sloppy journalism. Pick 2 teams who have cut a lot of players during the season and act like that's the key to success. I'd love to see a breakdown of every team. Know who else probably cuts a lot of players during the season? I'm guessing a lot of the bottom feeders.

I think Bob was told to up the clicks or he'd be writing about 25 celebrities you didn't know were dead. #17 is a shocker.

Maybe Gannett will improve JSO's slideshow game.

I think I said this earlier but if JSO adopts the Gannett web interface, I am going to follow soccer.

well, i can tell you NOT to follow leeds united

talk about a cluster fuck of a team. they make the packers look like they know what they're doing

As far as I'm concerned Bob can throw enough crap at the wall and something will stick. Or TT can prove him wrong........and show GB to be more than a Fart in the Wind
